SUMMARY:Hot Topics | A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Lab Animal Welfare Laws and Policies
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for this summer’s Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Law Animal Welfare Laws and Policies\,” will be presented by Larry Carbone. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Carbone will explore the effect of using charismatic species (such as dogs\, primates\, and rabbits) to advance welfare reforms. Do new laws and practices crafted to accommodate interests of one species have a ripple effect that improves the lot of other animals? Or do special protections for one type of animal come at the expense of others? Carbone shows how both outcomes have occurred through the years\, and argues that activists should be mindful of arguments that elevate species we care about at the expense of those without a human constituency advocating for their interests. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
